It has been suggested that global warming has caused the El Niño/Southern Oscillation (ENSO) climatic events to become more frequent and intense. However, several ENSO events that occurred before 1880 had effects at least as intense and wide-ranging as those associated with the current event. This is the case particularly for the events in 1396 (ref. 1), 1685-88, 1789-93 and 1877-79. Here I discuss archival evidence, notably from South Asia and above all for the 1789-93 ENSO, for the strength…

The Great El Niño of 1789–93 and its Global Consequences: Reconstructing an Extreme Climate Event in World Environmental History

This article explores the global dimensions of an extreme climatic anomaly characterised by a series of El Niño events observable during the late eighteenth century. While similar events, comparable…

How Significant Was the 1877/78 El Niño?

Previous research has shown that the 1877/78 El Niño resulted in great famine events around the world. However, the strength and statistical significance of this El Niño event have not been fully…

Climatic variability related to El Niño in Ecuador − a historical background

Abstract. This paper reports on an investigation into the chronology of El Nino/Southern Oscillation (ENSO) events, during the period from the arrival of conquistadores in Ecuador in 1532 until the…

Early Pliocene (pre-Ice Age) El Niño-like global climate: Which El Niño?

Paleoceanographic data from sites near the equator in the eastern and western Pacifi c Ocean show that sea-surface temperatures, and apparently also the depth and temperature distribution in the…

El Niño and Southern Oscillation (ENSO): A Review

The ENSO observing system in the tropical Pacific plays an important role in monitoring ENSO and helping improve the understanding and prediction of ENSO. Occurrence of ENSO has been explained as…

Austral summer of 1998: Observations on El Niño and the North Patagonian Icefield

In February 1998 we visited the Nef Glacier (47”07’S, 73’12’W) on the east side of the North Patagonian Icefield, in southern Chile, as part of a long-term project aimed at investigating the links…

Trends in the southern oscillation phenomenon and Australian rainfall and changes in their relationship

An attempt has been made to investigate decadal‐scale trends in Australian rainfall and in the southern oscillation index (SOI) and their influence on the relationship between them. Monthly rainfall…

Monsoon drought over Java, Indonesia, during the past two centuries

Monsoon droughts, which often coincide with El Niño warm events, can have profound impacts on the populations of Southeast Asia. Improved understanding and prediction of such events can be aided by…

A paleolimnological record of rainfall and drought from East Java, Indonesia during the last 1,400 years

Variations in the location and strength of convection in the Western Pacific Warm Pool (WPWP) have a profound impact on the distribution and amount of global rainfall. Much of the variability in WPWP…
